typical of a number of Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs in this vintage. The nose offers an inviting marriage of
black cherry fruit and oak aromas with an added spice note. Luscious and plush on the palate in a mid to full
bodied style featuring flavors of black cherry, blueberry-pomegranate and dark chocolate. Balanced tannins
with modest acidity, finishing with a thrust of black cherry goodness.
